Executive Summary
Cardima has received permission from the US FDA to begin the pivotal Phase III stage of its clinical trial to assess its Revelation Tx microcatheter-based ablation device for treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Data from Phase I and II of the US trial and from European trials and commercial use of the product indicate that about 80% of patients treated with the microcatheter have experienced either total elimination or a significant reduction in their AF, said Fremont, California-based Cardima. The product is already CE-marked for sale in Europe.
